4 talking points from India’s series-leveling win at Auckland

#4 Rohit Sharma shows class with the bat

New Zealand Black Caps v India - International T20 Game 2

Chasing a modest total of 159 can be tricky at times. But Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan came out with lot of intent to put the New Zealand bowlers off their radar.

In particular, India’s captain Rohit Sharma was in the fifth gear right from the word go as he made full use of the powerplay.

When in full flow, Rohit is one of the best batsman to watch and it was yet another brilliant batting display from the elegant right-hander. He made his intentions very clear when he pulled a quick short ball off Lockie Ferguson's first delivery well in front of square and that meant he was seeing the ball very nicely.

Rohit is one of the very few batsman in world cricket who can play both bludgeoning as well as caressing through the field shots and the entire range was on view for the packed Eden Park crowd.
